In the Lights You Make

Seren

I am magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
Destined to seek, destined to know

Laughing, she scrunched up her nose as it was tapped. Seren nodded that she very much did want to sit with him, and clambered up onto the bench beside him, needing only the briefest steadying hand to help. Very content with this turn of events, she kicked her legs that dangled a good distance off the ground, savoring the new perspectives. The purple flowers that grew all over the porch filled the air with a sweet fragrance, and mingled with the salty breeze sweeping in from the ocean.

Nate grinned at her answer and looked very happy indeed. But at the sight of his fangs, the girl's breath hitched a little and she stared, her unabashed confidence fading much like the setting sun. Something very painful started up inside, when she connected his sharp teeth with ones she had seen before. Letha had smiled too, and then... then Seren had made it go away, when she started.

"Yes..." she replied, but without the same enthusiasm. "Uncle Saiden is a pirate, and Sunjata is a mermaid pirate." Normally it would have made her boast to no end, but Seren was terribly distracted. Caught in a conundrum... because she had already promised to be friends with Nate, and yet she was not supposed to be. Was she?

"Nate... What makes a bad person bad?" It was skirting the real question the wanted to ask, but somehow she was afraid to. Wasn't sure she wanted to hear the answer.

I am a princess on the way to my throne
Destined to reign, destined to roam
